be a farmer


Let't go to pluck strawberries!!
It is suitable for going the countryside in a holiday. My girlfriend and I decided to go to pluck strawberries in Tahu(大湖), Miaoli(苗栗). We spent 3.5hr on driving my father's automobile to go to Tahu.
There are a lot of strawberry orchards for tourists in Tahu. After strolling several orchards, we chose a orchard in a lane. The boss prepared baskets for putting the strawberries we plucked and then teached us how to pluck strawberries. He said:"Observe whether the strawberries are ripe first. If yes, use scissors to cut the stem flat."
We went to work after taking baskets and scissors in the orchard. It is interesting to pluck strawberries by yourself. We selected the strawberries and cut them carefully. Every strawberry is ripe and sparkling. I recalled that a well-known saying is "It is my treasure" from GOLLUM in THE LORD OF THE RINGS.

We had a plentiful harvest and a good experience of being farmers.
